24th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Third over C&D in November and that was off a 4lb higher mark; two lesser efforts have followed and his long losing run looks set to continue. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Runner-up at Carlisle (1m1f, soft) in June and now 4lb lower; however, his subsequent form has been patchy and his long losing run continues; the first-time visor needs to spark something. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
He was gaining his first win away from Hamilton when landing a C&D handicap last October off a 2lb lower mark; promising return to action at his beloved Hamilton 19 days ago; that should have blown away any cobwebs and he rates a strong contender for a yard who could be hitting top gear judged on recent results. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 4 (2) |
3rd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
One of his seven wins here came in this race two seasons ago; had the benefit of a run that year and record after this sort of break isn't overly encouraging; however, his course record is too good to ignore, he's on a competitive mark and goes on all ground. |
7/2 |

14th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 53y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Prevailed by a neck at Pontefract (1m, soft) last week, making it three wins from his last four starts and recording first success away from Hamilton; only 3lb higher even with another penalty; respected in current form. |

8st 12lb |
Added two more wins in 2025, at 1m (good to soft) and on this track (7f, soft; made all); back on his last winning mark but this year's efforts lag behind what will be needed today. |
25/1 |

8th 8 (2) |
1st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Realistically weighted on his best efforts last year and his second run in March was better than the first; however, his AW exploits are unconvincing. |
14/1 |
|
6th 4 (13) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
1m on good to soft ground no problem and he is feasibly weighted on his best efforts last year; should be sharper with his recent return to action under his belt and he has the assistance of a leading amateur in the saddle; one for the shortlist. |

25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Veteran (13-103), latest win C&D (from 5lb higher) on New Year's Day; out of sorts lately, so perhaps age is beginning to catch up with him. |

20th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
8st 4lb |
Course winner (1m2f) when trained by Archie Watson; struggled for this yard in 2025 and the addition of a tongue tie and return of cheekpieces aren't enough to tempt. |
50/1 |
|
9th 6 (9) |
22nd Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Has dropped down the weights and his trainer is among the winners; however, he's struggled in the main this season and has been beaten 16 times since his sole win in March 2024. |
16/1 |

14th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Sole win came for previous trainer Archie Watson over 1m2f at Newcastle (11-8 favourite) in March 2024; 0-11 for this trainer and continues to slide in the weights; has plenty of work to do with Monhammer and Ahamoment on recent C&D evidence. |

Good start to the campaign featured a win but he's not been in the same form since; it doesn't look like this will be his day. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |

Resumed winning ways at Nottingham (1m) in April but his form has dipped of late, just sixth in 1m Ayr handicap last time; others appeal more. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Won on his Nottingham reappearance (8.3f, good) last month and was then second at Leicester; possibilities on those two efforts but latest Beverley run was underwhelming. |

11st 0lb |
Won twice over 6f with cheekpieces for Kevin Ryan in 2023; mainly disappointing since and well beaten on the Flat (1m/1m2f) this year; hurdles debut; others look stronger candidates. |
25/1 |

8th 4 (2) |
26th Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Both wins for Kevin Ryan as a 3yo came over 6f including one here; losing run up to 16, though, and plenty to prove on this first go beyond 1m. |

9st 5lb |
C&D winner off 1lb lower last July (good); best run this term when runner-up to a subsequent winner at Beverley last time (7.5f, good to firm; fifth has also won since); solid chance. |
9/2 |

2nd 11 (10) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |

Gained last summer's breakthrough win over 1m and remains unexposed over this trip but finished down the field here (7f) on last month's reappearance and needs that run to have brought him on. |

8st 13lb |
Gained first win since his 2yo days when making all in a Class 6 over C&D last week (blinkered first time); unlikely to get a soft lead this time and a 5lb penalty against stronger opposition demands more in any case. |
4/1 |

1st 4 (5) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Won maiden claimer for Tony Mullins in August 2024 (1m, good); hasn't won since but a few fair runs for new yard, including when third at Carlisle in June (1m1f, soft); blinkers now tried; fast ground is a concern. |
3/1 |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |

Poor strike-rate but he ended 2025 in good form and he ran his best race of this campaign when third over 1m1f here last week; runs off the same mark and he is one to take seriously. |

In fine form this year; won over C&D (good) early last month off 9lb lower; solid effort in defeat over 1m (good) off revised mark here on latest; drop back to 7f no problem and top rider booked; should be thereabouts again. |
8/1 |

24th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |

6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Needs to rebound from a substandard AW run ten days ago but made the frame on two of three turf starts in the spring (both times over 1m1f) and this longer trip probably suits better; can't be ignored off current mark. |
12/1 |

9th 4 (9) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
Both wins last season were over 1m2f, latterly over C&D in September off 1lb lower than today; two minor honours from three starts this turf season ensure that he has a prominent place in calculations. |
6/1 |

3rd 1 (5) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Both wins last season were over 1m2f; hasn't worn headgear so far this season and was below-par dropped to 7f last time (good to firm; reportedly never travelling) having run creditably when fourth at Ayr after a break 15 days earlier (1m1f); interesting with cheekpieces back on |
